Senior moment

A grandfather who went to pick up his granddaughter from nursery took home the
wrong child by mistake. He realised the three-year-old wasn’t the little
girl he was supposed to collect only once he’d got home. Neither the grandad
nor the child was any the worse for the experience, but Hasselmusens nursery
in Varberga, Sweden, said: “There were gaps in our procedures that we’re
trying to correct.”

Stuck?

Rescuers who were called to a public lavatory cubicle in the Chinese province
of Jiangsu found a man hunched over the bowl with his arm trapped down the
U-bend. He’d got stuck while trying to retrieve his mobile phone. The rescue
team took 10 minutes to free him, using hammers and crowbars. The man
escaped with cuts and bruises, but triumphantly clutching his phone.
